1- What are match codes? Describe?

2- What is table maintenance generator?

3- What transactions do you use for data analysis?

4- What are ranges? What are number ranges?

Lots of questions... not sure that is the correct place for these kinds of questions.

I would suggest some formal SAP ABAP/4 training at a SAP facility.

Sameer,

Match codes are other used for attaching selection values for the fields on the selection screen. Similar to search helps in a way bit different.

Table maintenance generator is used for generating the maintenance dialog (after maintenance view) for maintaining entries in a table. Transaction code sm30

Transactions for data analysis - se16.

for performance the below are the transactions.

se30 - performance analysis

st05 - sql trace for analysing sql statement

stad - information over the sql statements and their results

st22 - sump analysis

Ranges keyword creates a range table with LOW value and HIGH value. There are other fields also in the range table besides LOW/HIGH like SIGN, OPTION. ANd after populating the range with a set of values we pass that range values to the SELECT statement for ex like

select * from mara into table itab where matnr in r_matnr.

r_matnr contains the range of values.

Number ranges are generally the document ranges which gets assigned to each document when they are created.

For ex...sales order, deliveries, billing documents have a number assigned to them. They are the number ranges.

I imagine that you are asking all of the unanwered/unclear questions from this site?

http://www.sap-img.com/abap/more-than-100-abap-interview-faqs.htm

1) matchcodes are kind of like search helps.

2) table maintenance generator is a tool in Se11 where you can generate a program which can then be used to maintain your table. You would maintain in SM30.

3) Se16

4) Ranges are like select-options in selection screen. Number ranges are predefined ranges for which the system will retrieve that next available number for a specific document. Transaction SNRO.

Please award points for helpful answers. Thanks.
